Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups chopped apples cut into ¼-inch cubes, divided
2 Eggs large
1 and ½ cups Old Fashion Oats
1 cup Milk
¼ cup unsalted Butter melted (not hot)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
1 and ½ teaspoons Baking powder
½ to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon Salt

Additional ingredients

Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Add all ingredients along with 1 cup chopped apples (reserve 1 cup for later use) into a blender and blend until smooth.
Tip: It took about 2 minutes in my blender.
Pour batter into a bowl and let rest for about 5 minutes while you preheat waffle iron. This helps the batter to thicken slightly.
Stir remaining 1 cup chopped apples into the batter. Grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour about ⅓ cup batter into each waffle plate and cook according to manufacturers' instructions until deep golden. (I cooked for 6 minutes in my waffle iron). Remove the waffles onto a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
Pro tip: Remove the waffles gently! These waffles tend to be softer, due to the high water content in apples and the absence of flour.
Serve waffles hot with a dab of salted butter and maple syrup.

Notes

Color – Cook waffles until they get a deep golden brown – It took about 6 minutes in my waffle iron.

Use gluten free oats to make it gluten free.

Make it healthier – Replace butter with coconut oil.

Types of apples to use: Fuji, Honey crisp, Gala, Jonagold, Braeburn and Golden delicious are all great options. If you like the tartness from Granny smith, then you could use that as well.

Stir in some finely chopped walnuts into the batter for added crunch.

This recipe will need about 2 medium or 1 and ½ large apples to get 2 cups chopped apples.

Chop apples to ¼ inch dice for a uniform texture.

Blender – Any blenders like Vitamix or Nutri Bullet can be used.

Serving suggestion / Toppings

We love these waffles from scratch with dab of softened salted butter and maple syrup.

Other delicious yet indulgent toppings might include whipped cream, caramel sauce or sautéed apples.

Here is a quick recipe to make sautéed apples:

Slice apples into thin slices (about ¼-inch), cook in a skillet with some butter, brown sugar and cinnamon for a few minutes, over medium heat, until they are crisp tender. Spoon topping over waffles along with the sauce.
